Capabilities

Since 1990, Detail Mold & Manufacturing has been providing precision mold design and fabrication services for the fiber optic and medical industries. Our specialized equipment is housed in a climate controlled environment to ensure that it maintains the stability needed to achieve up to .0001" (2 micron) tolerances. We are able to fabricate molds measuring as large as 30" x 40" x 30" and weighing up to 7,500 lbs. We build using hardened tool steel to meet SPI Class 101 standards for high volume production, and are also capable of fabricating aluminum versions for shorter runs or for prototyping purposes. Hot runner molds, complex multi-cavity molds, as well as insert and over-mold tools are only a few examples of the capabilities of our master toolmakers and designers.

Engineering & Design

Engineering & Design

Here at Detail Mold & Manufacturing we use the very latest software from names including Master Cam and SOLIDWORKS. Our team can help with finishing a product design for mold-ability all the way to the complete 3D and 2D mold designs. We have experience in designing most all mold types. We are often called upon by engineers to solve their toughest molding challenges. We like to help customers who have been told by other shops that “it can’t be done”. Whether you have an idea, prototype or need capacity tooling, Detail Mold & Design can create a unique mold for your product. We intelligently engineer and rigorously inspect all molds and tools to guarantee that your manufacturing operations result in zero-defect parts. We always believe that any intellectual property we have been hired to create belongs to our customers.

One of the more recent acquisitions here at Detail Mold is our Okuma Genos L300 lathe with Live Tooling. While standard CNC Lathes are capable of turning a part and producing round products at lower costs that milling, Live Tooling allows us to preform secondary machining operations to the part while it is being turned. This process is one of the ways we are working to keep your costs low and meet your quick turn around and high precision needs. We can currently accommodate project sizes ranging up to 18’ long and 8” in diameter.

We know that grinding tolerance very and we can help you achieve the level of precision you need. At Detail Mold, we understand that some parts just need that human touch. That’s why alongside our hydraulic and full CNC Okomoto surface grinders we still employ a few manual grinders as well. Whether your looking for cost saving option for grinding many identical parts at one time or need us to grind cores for a mold while holding .000005” tolerances, or grinding graphite for EDM burns, we have the machines and the Master Toolmakers to serve you. Our toolmakers are some of the best in the industry and their work will speak for itself.

We have CNC grinding capabilities. This allows for accurate form dressing and repeatable processes
Our manual grinders are all 6x12 Mitsuis equipped with .00002”(.0005mm) readouts in Y and Z axis
Full assortment of fixtures and chucks to grind most applications
Grind up to 20 X 40 plates with our brand new Okamoto grinder.

EDM Drilling uses the spark from a copper or brass tube electrode to quickly and accurately produce holes in any highly conductive metal. This process is especially useful for small holes and for working in hardened material. Our current hole sizes range from .008” up to .125”and can have depths up too 200x the diameter accurately. When paired with the full CNC control, adding holes to difficult jobs just became much easier.

At Detail Mold, we are always looking for ways to improve accuracy and precision while saving time. That is why we have invested in a state of the art, Hexagon Metrology Optiv 443 Dual z Vision and touch CMM. We have a work surface of 400 x 400 x300mm. This machine has linear scales with 10nm resolution as well as high resolution CCD camera and Chromatic Whitelight Sensor. By including this technology in our shop, we are now able to check electrodes, inserts, molds, or finished products with extreme accuracy. The MPE for the Vison Sensor is Ex,Ey= 1.5=L/400, EXY=1.9=L/250, Ez= 1.9=L200. The MPE for the touch probe is MPEe=1.9=L/250, MPEp= 1.9, MPEthp= 2.9 (78 sec).
